The Virtual Iron Fist

OP CHURCHILL III
We had a very successful night during OP CHURCHILL III - hosted by the virtuelle Panzerbrigade 21. 4 other German units were also in attendance.... it was a tough but well fought night.
OP ASKARI I Continued...
After a successful end to OP CHURCHILL III, the 5 RIFLES BG continue Counterinsurgency (COIN) operations in Zargabad.
General updates
We are continuing preparations to open our CR2 MBT detachment - being led by a member of the actual QRH. (We promise that attendance to our NCO ball is NOT mandatory)
Also, a random video from training, where 2Lt Keown is surprised by an enemy BMP.

General Updates
The QRH detachment is nearing final preparation before their detachment is opened, enjoying the use of our custom edit of Burnes's Challenger 2 mod.
We're always busy with training, exercises, and operations within our unit, and alongside others.

Or perhaps a XML proxy on the right arm blanking patch since 5 RIFLES isn't the only regiment in the 20th AIB.
with the XML's at least units that use them can use their own patches and that will save Mike alot of work!

2 Sections!
We have opened our 2nd Section under 1 Platoon, and are making accomodations for a third. This addition to the unit is allowing us to open...
Queen's Royal Hussars/Royal Wessex Yeomanru
Now that we have 2 infantry sections, preparations are being made to open up C Squadron, Queen's Royal Hussars, along with the RWxY as their reserves counterpart. This Troop will be operating the FV4034 Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank alongside 1 Platoon, as well as operating FV510 Warriors in the reconnaissance role.
Training on the CR2 is underway, using our own in-house modification of Burnes' CR2 TES, and is being spearheaded by actual serving members of the QRH.
Members looking to join the QRH will need to first serve 6 weeks minimum in the RIFLES platoon, as all available roles are currently taken!
Home Rotation
After 6 weeks of OP MARATHON I, the 20th AIB have returned to the Hebontes Military Training Facility in order to conduct Counter Insurgency training, before we deploy on operations to Zargabad.
Joint Operations
In the background, preparations are being made to conduct joint ops with the vPzBrig 21, our German Army counterparts, the 51st Infantry Brigade, and later the 1 RRF MilSim Unit.
